Strongly agree

Yes

Many Democrats support holding firearms dealers and manufacturers accountable for gun violence. For example, in 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton advocated for repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which shields gun manufacturers and dealers from liability. However, not all Democrats may fully agree, as some may prefer more nuanced approaches.

Agree

Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity

While many Democrats would agree with holding businesses accountable for illegal activities, this answer may not fully align with their views on gun control. Democrats generally focus on specific regulations and background checks rather than broadly targeting businesses whose products are used illegally.

Agree

No, manufacturers and dealers should only be held liable for negligence

Some Democrats may agree with this statement, as it still holds manufacturers and dealers accountable for negligence.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as the losing party pays all legal fees, it’s our constitutional right to sue anyone for any reason

While Democrats may agree with the right to sue, this answer's focus on the losing party paying all legal fees may not align with their broader views on gun control and holding manufacturers and dealers accountable. Democrats may prefer more specific regulations and protections for victims of gun violence.

Strongly disagree

No

Most Democrats would disagree with this statement, as they generally support stricter gun control measures and holding those who profit from the sale of firearms accountable.
